Virgo Traits
The Maiden in the Stars
In Greek mythology, Virgo is often associated with Astraea, the goddess of innocence and purity, who was the last immortal to leave Earth at the end of the Silver Age. She resides in the heavens as the constellation Virgo, holding the scales of justice (Libra) nearby. This connection highlights the Virgoan ideals of service, order, and a desire to improve the world.
"I analyze, therefore I improve."
